If you’re like me and take forever to decide what to order for dinner, you might want to study up for the 12th Annual Cape Cod Food Truck & Craft Beer Festival, taking place Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. at the Cape Cod Fairgrounds in Falmouth.
Start with an online trip (fwww.foodtruckfestivalsofamerica.com/cape-cod) to check out all 27—yes, 27—food trucks signed up for the Route 151 event, including Trolley Dogs, Tandoor and Curry on Wheels, and Taco Dude.
A selection of menu items: fried chicken wings and coleslaw from Crispy Gai, fried Brussels sprouts, dumplings or mac and cheese from The Filling Station, and gluten-free cannoli from Uncle Joey’s Cannoli Truck.
OK, on to the drink!
The festival will feature beers from 10 New England and New York breweries, including Forty Second Brew Co. of Kingston and Proclamation Ale Company of Warwick, Rhode Island. The Food Truck Festivals of America traveling food truck show, based in Stoughton, does not feature any Cape or island breweries.
“In addition to culinary delights and craft beers, you can enjoy lawn games, face painting, live music, and explore an arts and crafts market featuring local businesses and artisans,” the Food Truck Festivals of America said in a written statement.
The craft market sells everything from jam and baked goods to 3D printed kites. Vendors and their products are listed on the website.
